The details of the problem: - At this point the first real problem occurred. The installation program rebooted again but the boot process freezed after starting kdm. The monitor switched to powersave mode and Ctrl-Alt-Del was disabled. (Jan-Christoph Westermann reported a similar problem on January 31st in this list, I believe.)
Initialization can take quite a while. During this period, screen is black. What graphics adaptor do you use?
- Now the really unexpected part. We created a partition with label "FAT16" and formatted it with mkdosfs -v -F 16 /dev/sda3. - We copied /boot/elilo.efi and /boot/vmlinuz to the DOS partition. - Rebooted. EFI could not see the DOS partition. However, the physical device is there, in the output of the map command. (EFI recognized only fs0:, the boot partition made visible by the installation cd.) We also checked later that the partition was readable.
Have you tried activating the partition or giving it the bootable flag?
